 ... demander si le savant, a mesure qu'il tend vers une connaissance plus complete du reel, n'adopte pas, en un certain sens, le point de vue propre au poete. Boileau disait de la physique de Descartes qu'elle avait coupe la gorge a la poesie. La raison en est qu'elle s'en tenait au pur mecanisme et ne definissait la matiere que par l'etendue et le mouvement. Mais la physique de Descartes n'a pu subsister. Et, avec la gravitation universelle que Leibniz considerait a juste titre, du point de vue cartesien, ...

The mere believing of miracles, the mere repeating of formulas requires no effort in converts, brought up to believe in the Pur{n}as of the Brahmans or the Buddhist Jtakas. They find it much easier to accept a legend than to love God, to repeat a creed than to forgive their enemies. In this respect they are exactly like ourselves. Let missionaries remember that the ...

The learned Cujas had, in spite of his sedentary pur- suits, led a very wandering life; he died at Bourges in the year 1590. Sedentary pursuits is perhaps not exactly what I should call them, having read in the "Biographie Universelle" (sole source of my knowledge of the renowned Cujacius) that his usual manner of ...

The Moslems soon made acquaintance with it, and the country was conquered and annexed by Mohammed bin Ksim, sent to attack it by the famous or infamous Hajjj bin Ysuf the Thakafite, lieutenant of Al-'Irk under the Ommiade Abd al-Malik bin Marwn.

The report runs thus: "Alice de W, qui fuit de l'age de xiij ans, fuit arse per judgment, pur ceo que el'avoit tue sa Maistres, & pur tant ceo fuit adjudge treason, &c.;" and it appears that the case turned upon the question of accountability, by reason of the tender age of the culprit.
